He Still Talks to his Ex Wife

We often have visitors write in with solutions to each others' problems. Here is a visitor's solution to one of our visitor's questions.

Original Visitor's Question from a 41-50 year old FemaleI have been dating my boyfriend for about a year and a half. We love each other. Can you help me understand why he and his ex-wife (who is remarried and has kids), still e-mail each other? They have been divorced for 7 years. No kids, either. I asked him why and he said that, she is part of his past and they dont have to be enemies. He also said there is nothing going on, and he is over her.

I just dont get it. Should'nt she get a life? Should I be angry? Im more confused and hurt. Why do you think this is happening? Is it odd? Please help, Thank you for your time...
